how should i handle them?
by stopthepain inyesterday,i watched the football games at my parents house.my parents both went to the meeting.now everyone knows my stance about the religion,but out of respect,i try very hard not to talk about my feelings or discourage them,because that is pointless.. but peppered throughout the day waas comments on the meeting,how the watchtower on alchohol was good becuase unlike other religions jdubs "adress the problems at hand",how an annionted sister died and how she is now"up there talking with jehovah"ect ,ect ,ect.whenever these comments where said,i had all i could do but go off.. i guess i'm pissed because if i was to sayanything about my views on the society,it would be a huge fight ,ending in alot of hurt feelings,but they can talk about things that they believe,as if i somehow will see the light.. at one point ,my father was kind of ragging on the watchtower study about alchohol{he's a huge jw fencesitter } i replied with"don't say anything bad about the society dad" mockingly of course,and i said out loud.
"i'll just keep my opinions to myself".even after i tried to show that i was uncomfortable with that topic ,it didn't stop them from bringing it up.. lately i'm really considering disassociating myself from the religion,for myself,but also to test my family.why should i have my name listed as a babtized jw(i was babtized at the all knowing age of 12}?why should they not talk to me even if i was disassosiated?is this a selfish thought?do i want to do that to see who my family loves more,me or the org?i can honestly say i don't care about my relationship with my family if they treated me different.they abandoned me once when i first left,but a few years after i left they softened.all you have in the world is yourself,ive learned that thusfar the hard way.. this religion is ,as far as i can tell,will always play a part in my life--------one way or another,whether i want it to or not.stp.
p.s.thanks whoever runs this site,it has been a great outlet for me personally.also,all the members,thanks.even you bradley!

Question for women-and men{preferably gay}
by stopthepain ini am seeing someone thats about 10 years older than me.she also works where i work.i am a union worker and she is "management"in the same company i work for.we have alot in common ,and i have been seeing her for about 2 1/2 -3 months.i know that isn't a long time,but i do really like her.i am atracted to her mentally and physically.my question is,can this work?should i let her be the aggressor,do i tell her that i like her alot.i don't want to scare her away,but it's hard to be in limbo,even for a guy.i don't really know what she wants out of this,and neither do i.we also have to keep it a secret at work,which isn't a big deal right now,but could be down the line.i should probably just take it slow,as i have.the org fucked me up in the trelationship department,so i am a bit lost.is the age difference to much.i don't feel it is,because i enjoy her company.its wierd,because my last real relationship,i was in charge,you know,the one who gets loved more than he gives,now i feel the shoe is on the other foot.time will tell,but anyone been in this situation before.just curious!

WTBTS=relationship thief
by stopthepain in.
how many of you out there have ever wondered "how many people did i never get to meet because of being a witness".. i for one,being raised ina ultra conservative jw family ask myself that.. everytime you missed out on various activities{outside the org},you miss out the chance of meeting great, interesting people.i for one don't have 1 friend left from the religion.so even if i met just 1 person that made a difference in my life,it would have been worth more than all that wasted time.. the wtbts knows what strings to pull to keep you from thinking outside the jw box.they destroy relationships before you could ever imagine begginning one..
